Measuring Instructions: For proper fullness, curtain panels should measure two times the width of the area you are covering. For length, measure from the top of the curtain rod to where you would like the curtains to end. For example, 1" above the floor, slightly touching the floor or puddling on the floor.Choosing your Header Style:Rod Pocket (Standard): Curtain panels are sewn with a standard 3 inch rod pocket top. This option allows you to shirr onto a conventional curtain rod or use ring clips to attach to top of curtain panel. Please see example images below.

Back-tabs with Rod pocket

How to choose your grommet ring color:Coordinate as much as possible with your other curtain hardware.

Back-tabs provide a faux-pleated look for a more tailored design. 3 inch rod pocket also included to shirr onto curtain rod.

Grommet Header Style:As an alternate header style, you can upgrade to the grommet top for your curtains. Grommets are metal rings that are sewn into the same area where a rod pocket would be placed. You slide the grommet rings over the curtain rod and the fabric is pushed forward, creating a modern, sleek and tailored look for your curtains.

This upgrade gives you two options to choose from when installing your curtains. Back-tabs are tabs sewn every few inches along the back side of the rod pocket where they cannot be seen. You slide the curtain rod through these tabs. This pushes the fabric slightly forward in-between each tab, creating a tailored, faux-pleated look for your curtains. The traditional rod pocket is also sewn into the top of your panel so you are able to have the alternative installation of the curtain panel shirred directly onto the rod for a more gathered, extra-full appearance.

Lining = Protection + Insulation + Fullness:

Basic Lining:Basic lining can protect your fabric. Sun exposure to any material (fabric, floors, furniture) may cause fading over time. Lining protects your fabric by providing an additional layer between your curtains and the sun. Another important benefit is that it will give your fabric more fullness, helping them drape better around your window. The basic lining is an 80/20 polyester cotton blend in an off-white color and is sewn directly into the panel.

Interlining:An additional lining can be added between the fabric and the basic lining. Interlining takes the same benefits of basic lining to the next level. This double lining further protects your fabric for many years to come. Lining and interlining will provide additional insulation properties from light/heat/cold to help save on energy costs. It will also provide extra fullness and light blocking properties to the fabric. This option also gives a true color to the front of the panel, since not as much light is passing through the fabric. The interlining is 100% white cotton and is sewn directly into the panel. In some cases curtains may achieve blackout properties or near blackout properties, depending on the front fabric. Please note that blackout requirements do limit your fabric choice as not all fabrics can achieve this level of light blocking capability. If you do need blackout properties and are unsure if your desired fabric meets this criteria please contact one of our helpful customer service representatives so we can ensure all your needs are met.
